Ideas in progress

Everything is going as well as possible the mygo brief we are making a game called Orball where you bounce a ball off unlights when the ball hits the lights come on. Im working on the scoring and the powerups.

Their are only a few power- ups to create most of them are just adding to a variable. Though the multiball gave me a headache then i realized its in an array array slice pop all the lovely things you can do with arrays(bliss).

The games score will be based on timers. I hate timers clear interval set interval forget to clear one or name an interval wrong and a few hours of pain come my way.

The two man brief is going well currently finishing off the graphics. Our idea is about aliens invading Cardiff and taking children's rights away. The client loves the idea and is looking forward to seeing the finished product. Im going for a very cel shaded cartoon look

Belonging, Finally belonged

The belonging bbc brief is finally finished handed it in this week. Sadly the top trumps game was still buggy so we decided to leave it as a separate entity. the bbc were really happy with the final game they said it such an easy game to play they enjoyed the fact that it was simple (drop and drag) they felt the top trumps game was not keeping with the two other games so they were happy it was a separate entity.

A happy result for all concered (;.
